DMAE Catalog

Picture of Dwight Morrow

The DMAE Library is in a state of transition as we move from a county-wide to a district-wide OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). The BELS catalog can still be used to find existing materials owned by the DMAE library but the Destiny catalog will replace BELS prior to the 2008-9 school year.

JerseyCat and Inter-library Loan

JerseyCat is a state-wide OPAC, which allows students and faculty to request all types of library materials including books, CDs, and videos from public libraries throughout New Jersey. Items are sent and received through inter-library loan every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Note: You must have a valid NJ public library card to request items through JerseyCat. Please see Mr. Walden to apply for a card through the DMAE/Englewood Public Library Card Initiative.
